It's so easy to let weeks and months pass without being intentional with your friendships. I'll be the first to admit that it's hard. After each child my circle of intimate friendships got smaller. And then I went back to work. I didn't think my social life could shrink anymore, but it did. What I have realized is that it comes down to prioritizing what's most important. These are my life priorities: God, husband, children, work, friends and family, house and hobbies. As I type this, I am quickly reminded at all the ways I fail and mix things up on a regular basis. I am also reminded of God's grace in all of this.
The movie, Son of God, is the latest depiction of Jesus and His life. This one is more broad and tells his story from conception, birth, teachings, torture, death and resurrection. What I enjoyed most was how accurate it was. Mark Burnett and Roma Downey's History Channel mini-series, The Bible, was put together to make this movie. There is less room for controversy than other Jesus films, in my opinion.

The movie was a great reminder of the sacrifice Jesus endured for me and you. The gospel is real. As my pastor said at church yesterday, "I'm a bigger sinner than I thought, but He gives me more grace than I could have ever hoped for."
Warmly,
Jill
